Ron and Luke went all out on this one. Everything from the action to character and story development amazing. Like the first trade it I will be giving this out to people who have never read a comic, because quite honestly comics rarely if ever get this good.
I was skeptical about extending the original story into a second book. Should've known better. While there are some story elements that I honestly think stretch credibility a bit (like Shiro's oh-so-convenient ability to master languages), I'm willing to accept them in what is an overall fun and enjoyable adventure story. Props to Ron for making Yoshiko more than just a damsel in distress, especially here. Now I guess all that's left is to show the two of them getting back home, right?
BTW, a Samurai pin-up by Jim Cheung would totally make my day...
